Harvey Weinstein Is Fired After Sexual Harassment Reports
And in her own statement released on Thursday, Ms. Bloom said Mr. Weinstein “denies many of the accusations as patently false.”

“It is time to repair, heal, accept responsibility and recover.”
He wrote that “publishing pictures of victims in friendly poses with Harvey will backfire as
it suggests they are exculpatory or negate any harm done to them through alleged actions.”
Bob Weinstein put it this way in his email to Ms. Bloom: “Perhaps, Harvey as he stated in the
NY Times, to the world, should get professional help for a problem that really exists.”
On Saturday, Ms. Bloom resigned as an adviser to Mr. Weinstein.
He and Mr. Weinstein had disagreed over how to handle the sexual harassment allegations, with
Mr. Davis advising a more conciliatory approach than Mr. Weinstein seemed willing to adopt.
The statement announcing the firing said the decision had been made “in light of new information about misconduct by Harvey Weinstein
that has emerged in the past few days.” In an interview, Lance Maerov, one of the company’s four board members, said it had been brought to their attention that Mr. Weinstein had violated the company’s code of conduct at some point in the past week, but he would not specify what the violation was.
